Chapter 46 Kyrgyzstan (Part 2)(1/2)
Everything is in a flash.
When the Kyrgyzs broke into a twenty-meter range, the next breath was a low wall!
Considering the time when the enemy loads ammunition, it would be nice if they could send out a lead bullet. At that time, their side will damage the cavalry at most in the front row!
As the number one warrior of the Kyrgyzstan, Edicki naturally would not be so stupid that he was in the first row to charge. He held up a sabre weighing ten kilograms and pressed the formation behind him.
At this time, the two cannons that had just been released by the personal guard regiment must have not been reloaded again, but they still have a third one!
"Boom..."
The third round of five cannons were fired on each side, and the cavalry rushing in the front fell to the ground with their men and horses.
However, there are only five artillery guns with a width of 150 meters. Although the shotguns ejected by each artillery can cover a range of about 30 meters, it is at the right distance of each artillery.
It is unlikely to hit two rounds, so there are many gaps in the coverage of these five cannons!
Five meters!
The cavalry, which were not affected by the shotgun, rode high-headed horses, and when they approached the low wall only five meters away, they all raised the front hooves of the war horses, obviously trying to leap over!
"Bang..."
At this moment, the new rifle in the hands of the soldier hiding behind the low wall was fired!
After three consecutive shots, almost all the cavalry fell near the low wall, and the inertia of the war horses rushing forward made the low wall move suddenly!
This is not over yet, and there are a large number of cavalry following behind!
"Boom..."
Fortunately, the first round of artillery released finally fired again!
Then there is the second round!
At this time, the 20 or 30 meters in front of the low wall were filled with cavalry and war horses. It was impossible for the enemy to rush over at high speed.
Adikyi's face couldn't help but turn blue.
Just this attack caused him to lose almost thousands of cavalry!
But he still did not give up and organized another thousand people. At this time, they all dismounted. The people in the front carried shields and used the corpses of the war horses as cover. They all lowered their bodies and approached the low wall again!
Se Kese issued a new order.
"The shotguns that have been loaded are not launched for the first time. The second and third rounds of artillery are all loaded with grenades"
Seeing that the enemy was silent at this time, Edicki behind finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"They have to spend time loading..."
"Bang..."
At this moment, a large number of muskets sounded in front of me!
Although Edicki is known as the number one warrior of Kyrgyzstan, he is not entirely the bravest of a man. In the 17th century, the Kzakhs and the Kazakhs were equipped with muskets, not to mention that it is now the 18th century, and he is not unfamiliar with firearms.
But whether it was just now or this time, the sound of the musket was very different from the one they owned.
The Truchens' musket sound is thicker, sharper and more exciting!
But he still believes that his own soldiers with shields can survive this period.
It's night now. Although the moonlight in the Kazakh night sky is bright and the fire in the Aka Forest is also burning, illuminating the surrounding night sky like day, he still can't see the situation ahead.
What he didn't see was:
After the bullets of Truchen's new musket hit the wooden shields in the hands of his soldiers, they penetrated them without any difficulty. Then, they did not stop and hit the soldiers behind them!
As soldiers rushing forward, they were all tall and big, and they were wearing armor. However, the armor of the Kyrgyzs was obviously not Persian or Ottomans' perverted chain armor, but chain mail and fish scale armor.
Most of them are still leather armor.
These armors cannot resist the conical bullets fired by gun bodies with good sealing properties.
That's not all. Just as muskets rang one after another, the long-lost cannon sounded again.
This time it's a grenade.
"Swish..."
Through the wooden board blocking, grenades with fuses lit in advance flew into the sky with sparks and roars, just like the gorgeous fireworks of later generations.
For the Truchens, how to ensure that the grenades ignited in advance explode in the enemy crowd and achieve the maximum coverage effect?
This is not a problem.
Just prepare several leads of different lengths in advance. When you see that your musket can effectively prevent the enemy's attack, the first round of cannons that had been loaded with shotguns did not fire, but loaded all the last two rounds of cannons with grenades.
The grenade is launched at this time!
According to their previous practice, to deal with such dense enemies, three types of long, medium and short leads will be inserted in turn, and the leads inserted between each cannon are different.
So, when they have a volley, they will explode at different times!
Grenade, as the most backward Kyrgyzs in Central Asia, obviously had never seen it before, and immediately caused chaos in their backs!
Not only that, some grenades that flew far even fell over the Kazakhs watching the battle at the end and exploded!
Watchtower.
Seko Se keenly captures this.
"Extend the lead of the artillery again, and raise the elevation angle again, and each time it is a volley!"
At the moment the artillery was roaring, the soldiers of the guard regiment had completed a new round of three bullets. During this period, a small number of Kyrgyzs rushed to the low wall in the fire of artillery, and naturally they were either killed on the spot by muskets or knocked down by grenades.
A new round of artillery bombardment has begun. This time it was clearly directed at the Kazakhs who were pressing the formation behind, causing chaos among them again!
Adikyi seemed to realize this, and he gritted his teeth and prepared to press down on his last thousand people.
"The enemy's artillery is facing the Kazakhs, and there are only muskets in front of them. If the piled up war horse corpses can approach the low wall in the form of crawling, then it will be half successful"
"Warriors are important, but they are not worth mentioning compared to the status of hereditary Bayi"
This time, he followed behind, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
Not to mention, his "crawling" approach really worked. With the cover of the night and the corpses of war horses, it was not easy for the musket to aim and hit them.
But the guard group still has grenades!
"Bang..."
"Boom..."
The whistling of the rifle and the explosion of the grenades intertwined in front of the low wall. The grenades exploded from time to time, like lightning, and once the enemy approached the low wall, they could no longer lie down and could only stand up.
At this time, rifles and rotary pistols will greet them.
Adikyi was frightened.
Not to mention him, this kind of tactic was not seen by Ablikhan, who had been fighting against the Junggars and Russians for many years since he became the Sultan of Zhongyuzi.
In front of the superior firearm, the identity of the First Batulu is no different from any other recruit at this time. No matter how strong you are and how powerful your martial arts are, you are equal in front of bullets and shrapnel.
At the same time, the grenades aimed at the back did not stop, and they exploded over the Kazakhs from time to time.
Se Kese looked at all this calmly.
His personal guard regiment carried a total of ammunition that could fight for five consecutive days. As long as the enemy wanted, he could accompany him to the end.
But the patience of tribal cavalry, which mainly uses cold weapons, is limited.
As Aidi took the lead in running away, the Kazakhs also ran away.
Originally, they wanted to use their number advantage to quickly take down this enemy army in front of the storm, but they didn't expect that after they suffered a lot of casualties, they didn't even touch the enemy's hair. What made them even more frightened was that the enemy's artillery could not only deal with the people in front of them, but also the people behind them could hit.
At the beginning, they also wanted to guard against enemy reinforcements that they could arrive at any time, but now they obviously forgot this, and they just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
So, there was a place where I could go, and no one listened to the shouts of the centurion.
In the desert near the camp of the Qin Guards, there were cavalry fleeing in chaos!
At this time, it was already three or four in the morning.
At this moment, the gun and cannon bodies in the camp stopped.
Just as they were escaping by chance, a large group of cavalry came from front of them!
This is naturally the Yamankara tribe behind. In fact, he has been arriving near the Aka Forest for some time and has been observing quietly. When he found that the enemy had signs of escape, he chased him out with two thousand Hussars!
Two thousand Hussars, divided into six battalions, whistling into the enemy who were fleeing in all directions!
It's still a combination of sabers and a rotating pistols. When facing this situation, it is naturally better for Truqin Army.
If you go straight into the enemy formation, although you can still win, casualties are still unavoidable. But when chasing the scattered enemies, it is so good that you can't tell.
The battle ended before dawn, and Yamankara could not keep chasing her.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning sprinkled on the earth, the fire in the Aka Forest was still spreading, but under the strong north wind, most of the forest, which was within a radius of hundreds of miles, had burned away.
For the Truchens, it is best to wait until the forest is completely destroyed and then cross from the ashes to reach Talas.
This time, Yamankara set up a camp beside a stream.
To be continued...
